This place was amazing. Not even sure what cuisine it is but every bite was masterful. The starters of pickled items was so good. Never had pickled apples or purple cabbage but it had the perfect amount of pickling and paired so well with the tahini. Fried string cheese was the world's best elevated mozzarella stick. Like a funnel cake with cheese and pepper. Curried carrots, sea bream, maitaki mushrooms all delicious. Only dish that did not wow me was the apple pie but only because I am not a fan of fruit desserts. A beautiful warm, cozy, intimate ambiance as well with an open kitchen and rotating seasonal menu. read more

Really loved my dinner experience at Mish Mish. The restaurant is beautiful and very modern. I was really impressed by their dishes, especially the raw yellowtail with peaches, which is an interesting combo I hadn't had before. The charred broccoli was also a standout -- it had a great smoky flavor with good acid. Service was great and our waitress was knowledgeable about allergies on the menu. The servings felt small but honestly left very full after sharing four plates (one protein) between two people. read more

I hope to Kool Aid man my way through the gorgeous, inviting, open windows of Mish Mish 100 more times this summer. OH YEAAAAH! This corner spot on the singing fountain is a living room away from home: neighborhood vibes, unfussy and unpretentious, free flowing wine, and little share plates flying out of the kitchen. The menu is small and veg forward, making this a perfect go-to for diners that value quality over quantity and novelty over familiarity. And yet, all of the dishes were somehow lovingly familiar! Twisted with a special touch that, in my opinion, shows a real care for the food and the people eating it. You are going to come here and you are, in fact, going to order the string cheese. My friend Clare described it as "nostalgic and funnel cake-like" in her review, and that's the perfect description. You're also going to order a smattering of vegetables, the sourdough, and then at least one of the larger protein entrees. Add some crisp Italian prosecco to the mix with a side of hot gossip with your girlfriends, and you've got yourself a dream evening on Passyunk. OKAY...you've got MY dream dining experience, at least. The team here is knowledgeable and warm. I was particularly fond of the cabbage dish they had on special with brown butter and pears. If this is available when you go, do not skip. Dessert is also not to be missed here. My date and I both agreed that the apricot dessert they are currently serving with coconut custard is one of our best bites of 2025. I loved my experience so much, I already have plans to go back for wine and french fry happy hour on their patio in a few weeks. This review is already long and I didn't have time to do a deep dive on the wine list, but Mish Mish's list wasn't on my radar and that's a real goddamn shame, as it's a beaut. It's special! It's Passyunk! It's Philly dilly so silly! It's food! It's Mish Mish! OH YEAAAAAH! read more

Everything that came out was better than the last. Our favorite items were the roasted chicken, wagyu beef with beets, and the mackerel. The service was great and they gave amazing recommendations. The only thing we wish they had was a more extensive vegan menu (really only the carrots and the "secret fries"). read more

We visited Mish Mish over the summer for my birthday dinner, and it was such a lovely dinner. Mish Mish is one of many wonderful restaurants in East Passyunk, and we enjoyed wandering around the block (it was Passeggiata that Thursday in July) before our reservation. We made it over to the restaurant just in time for our res, and we were quickly seated by the window, perfect for enjoying golden hour. The interior is so quaint, modern, and cute, and the seating outside is just perfect for people watching and enjoying a warm day. The hospitality was wonderful, starting with our server giving us thoughtful recs on wine and dishes. When another server served us our wine and to check in on us, I commented that he looked super familiar, asking where else he worked prior in the city. Come to find out, that "server" was actually the owner and brains behind Mish Mish! I *love* when owners / chefs mingle with their guests and insert themselves into the work flow - this proves that they are 1) human and 2) care about the diners' experiences so intimately. Having a conversation with him was so memorable and really made the night shine! On to the food ... the menu is small but features only thoughtfully curated dishes. Nothing is delineated as a "starter" or a "main," so we were advised to get a variety of dishes to share. We worked our way through the menu with a lot of recs from our server, as mentioned. The fried string cheese we started our meal with was so fun and quirky, but oh so delicious - it wasn't too heavily fried but was still reminiscent of a more elegant cheese sticks of years past. We moved on to the shaved fennel salad, which featured olives, herbs, and semolina croutons - a light dish with lots of fresh flavors. For our more "heavy" dishes, we went for the braised pork shoulder with a tamarind barbecue sauce and apricots and the grilled swordfish with lime crema. The pork was so tender, and the sweetness of the apricots juxtaposed with the bitter radicchio / horseradish salad just made the dish work. The swordfish was sooo meaty, in the best way; it was a substantial bite! The lightness of the lime sauce with the fresh herbs perfectly balanced the seafood and made for an excellent summer dish. Our meal was nicely paired with a few glasses of wine that matched all the dishes and was refreshing on a warm summer day. We did not indulge in dessert (birthday cake was waiting for us at home), but I would love to try their options on future visits! Mish Mish is a touch on the pricier side, but for the ambience, the quality, and the hospitality, it is well worth it. I would love to make it for the "golden hour" menu this coming spring / summer to enjoy more of their small plates! Overall, we had an excellent dinner at Mish Mish - would highly recommend to anyone around East Passyunk who is looking for fun, fresh, and delicious shareable plates! read more

Very nice and enjoyable dinner experience! This small restaurant has a great neighborhood feel. Service is very friendly and attentive. The decor is minimal and the focus is on service and excellent food. There is a relatively small menu made up of small plates. They recommend ordering several for sharing. Lots of vegetarian options. Everything we had was delicious. The Armenian string cheese was excellent, the asparagus had a really great flavor. Definitely recommend giving them a try. read more

We went for their 15 course dinner on NYE and it was amazing! The menu seems to change often so we're already dying to go back. All of the food was incredibly fresh and flavorful. The wine was flowing nonstop for New Year's Eve and the staff seemed excited to be celebrating with everyone. read more

Okay I went back, and they changed their menu. That string cheese is still the best thing on the menu. We went with a group of 5, and it's pretty tough sharing these small plates with everyone. Menu is still pretty small as well. I think if I'm opting for small plates, I'll go to a tapas place with a larger variety that are much cheaper. I'm only coming back if someone else is buying. FYI, their "cheese plate" dessert was far from a fan favorite. The waitress described it as something that had all the components of a cheese plate in one bite, which it did. We liked the praline crunch, but they way she described it made it seem like there would be a dusting of cheese on the top. However, it was like en entire shaved wheel, and it was overpowering. read more

My boyfriend and I came here for a belated Valentine's Day weekend and we were so excited to try the food! Mish Mish has been on our list for quite a while. As soon as we walked in, the ambiance was 10/10. The restaurant has a cozy yet chic and intimate vibe which was perfect for a Valentine's Day dinner. The staff was also very prompt, kind, and welcoming. We started with the fried string cheese which was a fun dish to order. We also got the eggplant, the cod, and the squash. The eggplant was not great. It had a weird tasting tomato sauce and the texture was mushy. It came with some sourdough bread which was great. The squash was covered in another weird sauce that was overly salty and really ruined the dish in my opinion. I liked the cod. It was buttery and perfectly cooked. However, it didn't blow us away. We finished with a totally average chocolate cake that tasted similar to one I could've bought at a grocery store. I am giving only three stars because the food was really just okay.. for the cost of this meal we could've gotten a really nice and delicious dinner at another upscale restaurant. The owner of Mish Mish is a former food critic so he has clearly tasted a lot of the cream of the crop meals in Philadelphia, however, this was not it. Thinking back, my favorite part of the meal was the side of bread accompanying the eggplant dish not any of the actual dishes. The couple next to us was seated right as we were finishing our meal and they asked us what we liked best.. we struggled to come up with an answer which is not a good sign! We likely will not be coming back unless there is a large revamp to the menu. read more

Had the loveliest time dining here this past Thursday. I love the upscale, local, farm to table energy. The restaurant really is beautiful in a cozy, no frills way, with warm wooden accents, white walls, big tables, and a center table filled with bottles of wine. I ordered a funky effervescent red, the Cinsault, that was different than any wine I've had recently and was very tasty! Alex, the owner/ our server made several recommendations on the list that made me very pumped for our meal. We also loved how integrated he was into the service at the restaurant and how he stopped by every table. All of the food was delicious, upscale and well thought out. Definitely recommend going here if you also are into Illata, local prix-fixe restaurants. Flavors were very unique. I am still thinking and will still think about the cabbage with Asian pears and ginger mayonnaise - I could eat 10 of these in a sitting. The pork was also standout - balancing American homey flavors and Asian complex flavors. My ultimate favorite however was dessert (poached apricots with coconut cream yogurt and lemon rind) it was refreshing, not too sweet, spicy, and unlike anything I've had before. I can't wait to return for a special night out! read more

Been here a handful of times and never had a bad experience. It's a very cute space with the sweetest staff. I'm glad they've kept the fried string cheese on the menu since their opening - it's yummy and a fancier way to enjoy "mozzerella sticks". Speaking of lowbrow/highbrow - they also have a special they run for their outside Sunshine Hour where you get a bottle of champagne and ayce french fries for under a hundo. Love the juxtaposition. Small plates designed to share which is nice so you can try several dishes. Dishes change based on seasonal availability. read more

What a vibe! The restaurant has a simple and clean interior (we really liked the limewash walls), with seating that surrounds the center working station for the staff & each seat provides a great view of the kitchen. Plenty of seating outside as well...if you can strike a good day of weather, I would recommend trying to make a reservation for outdoor seating, only because the inside is tight and can get a little loud. We also loved their music playlist - you can check it out on Spotify...we've been using it lately during our own dinner preparation at home. Service was great - very attentive and informative. They were helpful with selecting dishes and wine. Our favorite interaction was when it came time to order dessert, where we were informed that the vagueness of the desserts was "intentional," to spark more conversation if interested. Naturally, we needed to hear more & we were sold on both options. The "cheese plate" dessert was an interesting play on creating single bites that combined flavors of cheese, jam, and nuts. It was interesting to say the least - one of those things you won't find anywhere else. Very savory & cheese forward, so if that's not your thing, then I would opt for the second option (which in our case was a neopolitan cake). All of the food was good! I personally, was much more interested in the small plates, so we ordered a handful of different options. Plates that stood out: - Fried string cheese: another dish that we haven't found anywhere else. A fun interpretation of mozz sticks, but served more in a funnel cake form and a delicious marinara dipping sauce. - The little tomatoes were amazing as well! A creative execution of a Panzanella salad. Very excited to go back, and in a sea of incredible options to choose from in Passyunk, Mish Mish has quickly risen to one of our favorites in the neighborhood. read more

Mish Mish is a darling little corner spot with a unique menu, amazing drinks, and a cute view of the singing fountain and Passyunk square. Came here for an anniversary meal and thoroughly enjoyed every last item we ordered. The plates are on the small side so they advise 5 plates for a table of two, but I think we would have been fine with four + the bottle of beautiful Spanish bubbles. The menu changes frequently with what's in season, but we had an olive and melon starter dish (perfect with bubbles!!), fried Armenian string cheese (like your average mozzarella sticks were promoted to royalty status - absolutely amazing), smoked trout rillets, a lettuce salad that was a little heavy on the cheese, and a lamb frites entree. For such high quality food I felt the prices were quite reasonable. Service was attentive and sitting outside watching the sun go down was dreamy. Highly recommend! read more

So I wanted to go somewhere nice and new for our anniversary. We looked up a lot of the popular restaurants and looked NYT lists and a bunch of other lists and saw this place was in all these top lists so thought we should give it a try! I was super excited and the menu looked great as well and had a lot of options for my mostly vegetarian husband. To be honest I was super underwhelmed by all the food. The menu is pretty small but the cocktail menu is only like 4 drinks. We got the fried string cheese, whipped potatoes, chicken kabobs and mackerel. It was allll so meh, I'm super disappointed. I was super hyped for this place too. For dessert there are only two options and we went with the sweet plantain bread with white ganache and hazelnuts. Literally it was so dry and tasted like grocery store baked goods. The white ganache tasted like frosting from a jar.... The service and ambiance were great and that's what my stars are for. Food wise -- not impressed at all. read more

Pretentious, overpriced, and deeply disappointing. Yes, the food at Mish Mish is good. Delicious, even. But good food doesn't excuse bad behavior, and it certainly doesn't justify sky-high prices served with a side of arrogance. Our group ordered everything on the menu... literally. We also had two rounds of drinks. We came ready to appreciate what the restaurant had to offer. Instead, we got a masterclass in condescension. When one of our party polit asked if a minor accommodation could be made, the owner himself got defensive and rude, as if how dare we ask a question. Not just unhelpful, hostile. For a place that clearly sees itself as elite dining, the lack of hospitality was astounding. When you charge this much and present yourself as a destination restaurant, customer service should be impeccable. Instead, we were treated like we were lucky to be there. We weren't. And we won't be back. read more

2.5/5 4 ppl, dinner, need a res - great vibes, nice service, but actually very mid/bad food?? all of their sauces (aioli, the thing on the squash) had a rancid oil base flavor that kinda left a weird aftertaste in your mouth grilled shrimp - the shrimp are ice cold which was kinda weird to me and the aioli had that flavor crab dip - okay, not a lot of crab flavor eggplant - tastes like shakshuka u make at home steak - well cooked, but 4-5 pieces for 34 bucks LOOOOL chicken - only large dish on their menu, well cooked, but also nothing special squash - fine, but that weird flavor that kinda ruined it swordfish - best thing we ate, great ginger flavor drinks are super mid (negroni and martini) with an ok wine list $55 pp after tax and tip for those who didnt drink, $72 pp after tax and tip for those who got 1 drink overall everything is too expensive for what you're getting flavor and prep wise read more

I wanted to take my girlfriend out for a nice dinner so i decided on Mish Mish. We had heard good things and the reviews were strong. I must say, I've never been more underwhelmed by a multiple hundred dollar dinner. All of the food was simply blah, meh, not good. Flavors were underwhelming and too understated. Every dish was as bland and disappointing as the last. The service was friendly and good, with a peaceful vibe inside and a great playlist. But I go out for food, and the food at Mish Mish just really was not good. read more

Mish Mish is a mish mash of middle eastern flavors and creative delicious smedium* plates that you don't want to mish. *Actual term used to describe size of the plates by the owner. The vibe is your classic South Philly neighborhood BYOB. Romantic, dimly lit, and cozy, the kind of place you want to bring a few bottles to and hang out. The food is delicious and inventive but not trying too hard to be weird. We loved the: Crispy potatoes- Spanish tapas style Fried Armenian string cheese- mozzarella sticks' extremely cool cousin Mussels and lobster butter toast- incredible flavor Clams and fennel- smaller portion but lovely White beans- they use heirloom rancho gordo beans (iykyk) and weren't shy about bringing us extra bread so we could sop this all up. Able to make vegetarian or vegan Citrus salad - smaller but bright and vegan Radichio salad- larger and crunchy and fresh and can be vegan (anchovies on the side, different dressing) Octopus in muhamarrah- small portion, sauce was incredible Squash- delicious sauce, loved the crispy rice Chicken- cooked perfectly and the flavor was incredible, seriously definitely get this For 3 hungry omnivores and 1 vegetarian that was enough food that we didn't have room for dessert. The bill was $50 each which is incredibly reasonable for the quality of food. They were very accommodating to vegetarians (even had a vegan menu printed). Service was excellent and they are checking vax cards. Not coming here would be a huge mishtep, a gigantic mished opportunity, make it your mishion to come! read more

We adored our special night out at Mish Mish. The atmosphere is intimate, sexy, relaxed & sophisticated. The owner & server could not have been nicer. The Swordfish fish was our favorite. We also loved the fried cheese & the asparagus. Highly recommend. read more

A small menu means the chef can focus on making each dish awesome and, in almost all cases, he succeeds. The fried string cheese was phenomenal. It doesn't sound like much, but there's a reason why everyone orders this. It's because it's really, really good, unlike any fried cheese I've had anywhere else. At first I thought... mozzarella sticks, but this is like the adult version of mozzarella sticks presented in a whimsical way... like funnel cake at the shore. The cheese is spiced nicely and the accompanying sauce has a tinge of heat. It's so good! We also had the roasted beet salad and faro salad, two items I'd never consider ordering anywhere else because I know I'd be getting something boring. The chef made each salad dish taste great. The ingredients in each salad blended together beautifully and they were a delight to eat. Perhaps the only dish I didn't think was awesome was the Kampachi. The flavors were all there and the fish was decent, but one of the three pieces was full of bones. The wine selection was very eclectic. I've never seen any of these wines on any menu before, so that was pretty cool. The cocktails looked very imaginative. I had the Dreamweaver, which was sort of like an Old Fashioned, but a lot sweeter, just as I like. The servers and host are wonderful. Definitely give Mish Mish a try! read more

This is such a cute restaurant!!! I immediately fell in love with the ambiance! This little restaurant is located in South Philly. I came when the weather was nice out so all the windows were open and I loved the vibe! AMBIANCE: The restaurant setting is intimate and the noise level is just right - not too quiet where you're afraid people can hear your conversations and not too loud where you can't hear the person/people you are dining with. Ughh I can't get over this place! They literally hit the nail on the head with ambiance! Even the bathroom matches the restaurant's vibe - they literally have a Mish Mish candle that has a woodsy/natural scent. The bathroom is super clean too, which I always appreciate. SERVICE: The waiters and waitresses are super sweet here! I also appreciated how it seemed like they were all friends. They created a very welcoming environment. FOOD: I didn't really know what to expect because this place is labeled as Mediterranean, but it doesn't fit into the Mediterranean I'm used to (i.e. mezze with hummus and baba gannoush, chicken/lamb plates, etc). Despite not being certain what kind of food this place served, I was absolutely enamored by the meal. The menu changes from time to time, according to our waitress; however, there are staples- such as the baby octopus, which I highly recommend trying!! I loved this dish! It wasn't overly salty. The octopus was cooked perfectly and came with a red sauce. The steak was yummy, but standard. It was cooked medium rare, which is the way I prefer my steak to be cooked. I thought it was interesting that they didn't ask how we wanted our steak cooked, but it turned out fine. The mushrooms were the star if this dish! Added a nice umami note to the meal. The scallops were also delicious!! It came with a buttery corn sauce on the side. I would have never thought to pair corn and scallops, but it worked very well. The portions were pretty small- the waitress recommended getting 5-6 dishes for two people. I would definitely come back again! Loveeeee love love the atmosphere and setting :,) read more

10/10, amazing every time. I could eat the carrot dish on the menu for every single meal it's so fucking good.

We went in on a Sunday early dinner and it was not crowded. The selection is very small and there's no high chair if you plan on bringing your child. Everything we tried had distinct flavors and the food was made well but there wasn't a harmony between dishes and I didn't grasp the theme of the restaurant. Out of all the Passyunk restaurants this is not on the top of my list. read more

First time food was mediocre and service substandard. Only agreed to go back as wife liked the place. After making reservations the National Weather Service issued winter storm warning. Not wanting to drive in this mess we cancelled. They refused to waive cancel fee which is totally outrageous. Worse, the rep of restaurant was curt and rude. NEVER PATRONIZE THIS SECOND RATE PLACE read more

*Local joint in the heart of south Philly. Please reserve ahead. Good to great.* Armenian string cheese- Honestly came here for this highly raved dish. But I just can't say it's the best idea for the ingredient. I knew of the original ingredient and I guess I was hoping for an unicorn. These are better displayed as is rather than being fried as the mozzarella. Baby octopus - what a pleasant surprise! Having been used to the octopus leg in the Spanish tapa/Italian places, these were surprisingly tender and not fishy at all as expected in smaller octopus. Broccolis - Tasted good (with Unami from olives, green peppercorns, and roasted garlic vinaigrette) but off from the description. It was quite mushy than "charred" as described. The portions is pretty small. read more

classy clean restaurant with unique & tasty dishes! to preface this review, my friend and i visited in november 2023. the menu is seasonal, so some of the items we had are no longer available. we ordered the butternut squash and split two entrees, the steak frites and the pomegranate chicken. we finished dinner with a dessert that they called the "cheese plate." mish mish's dishes are definitely very unique -- they play with textures and flavors in a way i haven't seen from other restaurants in philly. while my friend and i enjoyed the surprises, i can see how others may not be a fan of the unique flavors. the butternut squash was rich and creamy, the pomegranate chicken was perfectly tender. the steak frites were more basic, but perfectly cooked and satisfying. the "cheese plate" was a rollercoaster for the tongue. the combination of sweet and salty flavors with soft and crunchy textures kept us on our toes. it tasted kind of like a ferrero rocher with jam & a kick of salt from the cheese. we still don't know what to make of the dessert... but everything was delicious! for drinks, i had the cherry spritz and my friend the artichoke. neither were up my alley as they were more bitter than i expected, still fun to try. the service was outstanding. our waitress was knowledgeable and easy to talk to. even though the food is definitely on the pricier side, i can't wait to visit again! read more

Lovely ambience with the euro-style open shuttered windows wide open on a beautiful evening on a small square in Philly. Inside was clean and elegant but understated. Our server was affable and efficient and led us through the menu as a shared tasting experience( which we loved). We really got EVERYTHING on the menu and shared it between 5 of us and there wasn't a meh dish on the entire table. Highly recommend getting 4-5 people together to share this way! The crafting of the dishes was masterful: bold flavors but elegantly balanced. Everything was cooked perfectly as well from the asparagus on the new, spring salad to the shattering crispiness of the fish skin on the Arctic Char and the not greasy pork belly with the beautiful cherry mostarda! But the possibly biggest surprise was the charred cabbage dish; delicious!! read more

Am torn on mish mish... objectively the food quality is good but we ordered very close to the whole menu for four people and we were left very nippy.. which i can definitely understand paying more for great quality but i think the tradeoff was lost on me at a certain point because it all tasted nice enough but nothing blew me out of the water! The butternut squash was the most memorable to me, very smoky and slightly sweet. But everything else was just okay, an intriguing initial bite to have and share but nothing that made me crazy, including the negroni. Does have great date vibes and service.

Mish Mish was quite an unexpected experience! No reservations needed. Ambiance is hip and loud with constant movement and chatter! Menu is small with barely any description , wine list was great and they also had a mixologist making unusual cocktails. Experience at Mish Mish is def impacted by the server you are assigned and how knowledgeable they are with the food and drink menu, ours didn't seem to know as much! For a party of 2 we ended up ordering 5 dishes off the menu. I have to say at first glance I was a lil apprehensive about the choices that were offered as "tuna melt and sugarlope melon with chillier crisps" but the food ended up tasting quite delicious and creative, some not so much! The mussels were to die for and highly recommended!!! I do have to say if you are looking for a traditional dinning experience this is not the spot for you! read more

I really wanted to like any place that sells itself as Mediterranean, but I'm not sure where this comes through. Started with the fried string cheese, which was essentially $15 mozzarella sticks which are inherently going to be great (and were the highlight of the night, but didn't love the dipping sauce). The baby octopus was cooked well but not my favorite sauce. The brisket was fine, a little on the salty side but the potatoes it was served with were great. The portion size of this was small, and the plating was super underwhelming. Thankfully we made a last minute decision to add the chicken, which was great and the bulk of our meal- the crispy brown rice with the couscous was a nice surprise. We got the two red wine glass options and didn't like either. The service was excellent. Probably wouldn't come back. read more

I just wanted to update my review, as I've been back here many times since it opened. It's always a 5-star experience. Warm and welcoming staff, fun ambiance, great music, delicious food. The only negative experiences I've had there, in any aspect at all, were caused by annoying customers who seemed like they would have fit in better at a Cheesecake Factory. Some of the negative reviews on here are laughable. Yes, you need to make a reservation, it's not an IHOP. Yes, they have a cancellation fee if you no-show, because it's a small independent business and you agreed to that when you made the reservation. Yes, the music is not elevator music, it's not a Morton's. Yes, the menu is limited, because all the food is good and, again, it's not a Cheesecake Factory. If you're a cool normal person, you will like eating here. Amazing first date spot, great place to catch up with friends, great place for a dinner with your (cool) parents. Though I will say it's not a huge restaurant, so I wouldn't try to do a 20 person family reunion here or something. read more

I'll go 2 stars because the dishes were well executed and all tasted good. The pork Milanese was the loan highlight. We should have ordered 4 of them and gotten the salad as app. Instead, we ordered the entire menu. The portions are comically small. We had a group of 4 and we all left hungry enough to get sandwiches at a bar afterwards. The service is pretentious. They made us feel uncomfortable and rushed. The pacing was too fast. We were out of there in about an hour. The drinks were ok. It's a small list and options are limited. The white Negronis were unremarkable. The owner (who pretended he wasn't owner) got snippy with us when we commented about how small the serving of swordfish was. It was 3 small pieces. We had a party of 4 and it just felt like they coulda threw another piece on the plate given the amount we ordered and cost of the bill. Even after acting unprofessionally, in an awkward exchange, they didn't offer us anything to make us feel more comfortable. It basically seems like they're shooting for acclaim or awards and lost sight of the idea of actually feeding people. I won't be back and can't see how a place like this survives very long. read more

Came here with reservations and were seated right away. Small place with a nice vibe to it. We ordered the grilled Spanish Octopus, Lamb Chops, and the grilled scallops. The Spanish Octopus was amazing and was perfectly seasoned. The lamb chops were also excellent. Super tender with a mix of peaches/peach sauce on the side. Really got my taste buds going. The scallops dish however, wasn't too great. The plate was heavily seasoned with black pepper and unfortunately it was too overpowering for the dish. Menu is a bit limited but overall a good place. Service was excellent! read more
